Edge Works of Goddess ZABABA - English Cover by Azia & Saki

☆ Hearts intertwined like the sun and the moon ☆
Here it is - the second ZABABA duet I promised a while back! I love this song so much, though that didn't stop lyrics from being a huge challenge. Aside from all the overlapping parts, I had to look pretty deeply to figure out what some lines meant. I'm not sure how much I actually got right, but I learned some cool things, like how Death 13 in the original lyrics refers to the 13th Major Arcana card in a tarot deck!
Anyway, please show Saki's channel lots of love (you can find it down in the credits!!) - her vocals were amazing, as always! And consider commissioning Emisen, who did a great job with the mix!

(Feel free to use these for your own cover, but please credit me if you do)
A warning melody calls upon the reaper of death; the face of your despair, you've drawn death the 13th
Welcome to your requiem, they’ll sing this elegy to lure you inside, you’re terrified
It’s deep in your DNA, can’t hide the errors flashing out, incompatible with this cruel life
Avert your eyes and bow down, a lifeless doll within a monochrome cell, this prison you’ve found
Saw it all down into fragments; quickly before it can hurt, till we’ve torn it all up into shreds
(This sort of world is useless to me… till we’ve torn it all up into shreds)
I’ll trust in us, that the bond we share will grow strength out of love; if you believe you’ll make it through, you’ll weave will into truth
(Think of the things that it’s worth it to protect and you’ll grow strength out of love; if you believe you’ll make it through, you’ll weave fairy tales into pure truth)
I’m sure, I’m sure, I’ll rise out of the sorrow and I’ll fly; the shining chains will, dissolve away as I sing out this melody into the sky
(Though I can’t remember the feeling of a smile, out of the sorrow I will still fly; the shining chains dissolve away, singing this melody into the sky
Filled with the thrill of taking, this taboo medication, we will defy all those who would stop us
Targeting each emotion, they only leave us broken, enter the mainframe and uninstall
And as our blades are crossing, they’re ringing out and causing a desperate rhapsody that cuts deep into me
I swear to god I’ll save you, break through the bars and reunite with a kiss to war-weary lips
Quickly suppress the tears falling down … till we’ve razed our despair to the ground
(Shouting out to the dark now, won’t let the fear drag me down; till we’ve razed our despair to the ground)
With these emotions that blaze beyond control, now is the time to attack; showing restraint just held me back, I'll fight on and never surrender
(I can feel in my heart that I’m ready, now is the time to attack; showing restraint just held me back, so I’ll fight for your sake)
Little by little I’ll find the strength I need, to say “I love you!” to you one day; it’s destiny, that we’ll dance on endlessly, just like the sun and the moon
(I’m sure, I’m sure, I want to say “I love you!” to your face; it must be fate that fused us together, ah, hearts intertwined like the sun and the moon)
Hand in hand we will stand against the world… promise me that you won’t let go...
Saw it all down into fragments; quickly before it can hurt, till we’ve torn it all up into shreds
(This sort of world is useless to me… till we’ve torn it all up into shreds)
I’ll trust in us, that the bond we share will grow strength out of love; if you believe you’ll make it through, you’ll weave will into truth
(Think of the things that it’s worth it to protect and you’ll grow strength out of love; if you believe you’ll make it through, you’ll weave fairy tales into pure truth)
I’m sure, I’m sure, I’ll rise out of the sorrow and I’ll fly; the shining chains will, dissolve away as I sing out this melody into the sky
(Though I can’t remember the feeling of a smile, out of the sorrow I will still fly; the shining chains dissolve away, singing this melody into the sky)

This is such an amazing cover, I'm so glad Symphogear is getting more attention this year, wish the game was still available in global but whatever (now where's my either season 6 or movie lol). Your voice also fits Shirabe so well. Keep up the amazing work and hope for more Symphogear covers.

[@azhrie3436]

Their phonic gain is immeasurable!

[@TrueCrayon]

Aaaa I’m loving these symphogear covers!! And Kirika and Shirabe’s songs are some of my favourite so I really enjoyed listening to this!

[@icypika]

Ahhh yes I am so happy to see some english covers of the amazing Symphogear OST. Blades of Zababa is one of my absolute favorite! Amazing work!

[@serse8455]

Good job on the cover!

[@Spectrum16]

Subscribing was clearly worth it to hear my favourite Symphogear song covered in english

[@user-mv7zd3pd6b]

Great cover! It really sounds amazing

[@SaitoIkari]

This was amazing!

[@sarbe6625]

I love this keep up the good work!

[@tlkh]

This is amazing! I would have honestly thought a proper english cover of the Zababa battle songs was impossible. This is wonderful!

[@jowsonjgong8303]

Thank you for your works

[@allan.cs2]

[@BadassOverlord]

Nailed it

[@otrorandomdeinternet9794]

Great cover

[@duekaslana246]

"it's deep in your DNA" nice nod to finé hiding inside shirabe's DNA

[@memegodyato674]

Your voice is so cute I love it

[@alpharius5636]

Desu! Desu!

[@kibsaimmeneses8969]

please do more symphogear please!

[@truedragongaming2444]

Please do Take this! All loaded!

[@bryanhernandez8404]

Hey, nice one, excuse me doy you have the off vocal? I wanna sing it in a schoolar event but i cannot find it

[@spacecow2455]

This one seemed very difficult to translate as you have to fit the meaning and meter while also having both parts diverge and rejoin at specific words a bunch of times

[@Christian-gr3gu]

Honestly I think anzia has a weird echo or something with her, and it's sadly really hampering her voice. I liked the duet, but man it could have been a lot better if that echo wasn't there

[@Mattatiah95]

Your voices are so nice and I like your cover, but the echo effect is just ditracting ;-;
